Murum Hydroelectric Dam Launched

The Murum Hydroelectric Project is located on the Murum River, the uppermost portion of the Rajang River basin.

The Murum Hydroelectric Project launched with a capacity of 944 MW, and is expected to be able to produce an average annual output of 5,542 GWh of electricity.

The Murum dam began commercial operations in December 2014 and was operating at full capacity by June this year. It is a 100 per cent Sarawak state government-owned project. It has the world’s tallest steeped chute spillway, 141 meters high.

The project — the largest construction project currently being undertaken by Sarawak Energy — is being constructed by Three Gorges Development Company Malaysia (TGDCM), unsurprisingly given Three Gorges experience building the Three Gorgest Dam — the largest hydroelectric power plant in the world.

In terms of the construction of hydroelectric project, Sinorock has very rich on-site construction experience. Sinorock self drilling hollow bar has been popularized in the hydroelectric projects at home and abroad owing to the well-known brand, reliable quality, high property, strict quality control, excellent in-sale service, considerate after-sales service, etc.

Sinorock self drilling hollow bar system is continuously improved and upgraded according to the demands of different customers and different regions. Due to the continuously improving, Sinorock products are also gaining more and more recognition in the geotechnical anchorage field.
